Living in New York City means access to the best of the best: Food, culture, experiences and, of course, healthcare. There are no shortage of options when it comes to world-class doctors and personalized, dedicated care. But Brooklynites don’t have to cross the bridge to get to it.
The Brooklyn Hospital Center, located right on the border of Fort Greene and Downtown Brooklyn, has been caring for the community since its opening in 1845. In fact, we’re Brooklyn’s oldest hospital, and are proud to be focused on catering to our specific community’s needs—all while being recognized for excellence on the national level, too.
Even if you’re familiar with our main campus, which is located just steps away from beautiful Fort Greene Park on DeKalb Avenue, what you might not know is that our ecosystem of care expands beyond those four walls.
With locations across the borough, we are also proud to be home to 12 of Castle Connoly’s 2026 Top Doctors, recognized as the best in their field by their fellow physicians. Our top docs have expertise that spans from family medicine, to neurology, to pediatric specialties and more. Our state-of-the-art facilities, like The Brooklyn Cancer Center (in partnership with New York Cancer and Blood Specialists), The Physicians Pavillion (home of our faculty practices), and our recently opened Family & Women’s Health Center (in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn’s Fulton Mall) are all within walking distance from each other, meaning you are never more than a few minutes away from comprehensive award-winning treatment.
